One of the best BL I've ever seen
I need Season 2. I want to see White working as a diplomatic and fighting against the current government. I want to see the closure to ToddBlack. The last EP gave me the need to see more of them.I loved DanYok since of the very first sight. The chemistry between Gawin and First it's something that GMMTV could explore more.And, P'Anucha you were absolutely incredible!!! I'll follow your work whenever you'll do next. You are amazing.Ps. I had to search for the books that Sean have been reading in the beginning of the series. I learned more about Thailand history and culture. As a brazilian, I'd never had heard anything about this and this Series made me wanna to learn more and more.This was a such inspiration and I clearly see the connections between our laws, government, estruture, police force... Here in Brazil too. The episode focus on amnesty was my favorite.Not Me is now my favorite serie and it changed my life and my way to see some things. Thank you GMMTV, crew and cast to bring us this masterpiece.(Sorry if my English is broke, I'm always learning)Was this review helpful to you?
Me crying? Not Me
Where to even begin? This series is such a masterpiece!!!!!
When I first started episode 1, I knew that this is going to be one of those shows that's going to take me on an emotional roll coaster. It captures you from the very first episode and you can't help but fall in love at the beginning. As the story progressed each episode the plot was more and more interesting and not what you would expect from a BL. I’ve watched so many BLs and this series hit different, it did not only show us the romantic side but issues that are still happening around the world and that is powerful for a series to show that and yet still be light-hearted.
I was shipping White and Sean so hard OMG!! my favourite couple they are just so sweet with each other. Yes, they did have a rocky start, but I think it was needed to build the connection they have right now. It's amazing to see how far they have come and the connection they have. OffGun really have a good connection when they are acting because they make you believe and fall in love. It's so amazing how their acting as improved over the years, and you can clearly see this in this BL. they're Overall I'm happy with their acting 10/10 OffGun.
It was so sad when Yok was betrayed truly felt that. To think that you trusted someone, and they turn around and disappoint you was so sad but, in the end, they got their happy ending.
The friendship in this BL is amazing Yok, Gumpa, Gram and even Todd. They have all had they fair share of ups and downs, but you can clearly see that they care for each other.
The OST is amazing that I even downloaded it, that's how good everything in their series come together. I'm crying but I'm happy.
Overall, I've never felt this way about a BL it was truly spectacular and I'm going to miss this show so much it has brought me tears, joy and the feeling of love. This show has the best cast and crew, and everyone did an amazing job 10/10. Deep hoping for a season 2 or a special episode 😃
Thank you ,Not me the series.

A true masterpiece. I really don't know what I'm going to do with my life after this is over.
Not Me is one of the best BL's I've ever seen if not the best. It's definitely earned the number one for me. I loved it from beginning to the end. I'm not one for political action thrilers but Not Me's story captured me. I was drawn in by the fight for social justice done by college students. I could relate so much even if I don't have that fight. Their struggle made me think deeply every week and made me learn more about Thailand's society. It taught me more about what's going on in the world which is always important.The cast was amazing from Gun to Off(who improved so much and was excellent as Sean. And Gun cemented himself as Thailand's best with his brilliant portrayal as Black and White.) to unknowns to me like Gavin and First. They were all so good and made me love them as actors. I had always been and OffGun fan which was the biggest reason I watched but after Not Me I'm obsessed with them. Off and Gun's acting was in another lever and their chemistry??? wowza it's even better than before. I just love them that is all.
I think the character development was the best in the story all characters changed and grew thru the course of the series . I also loved how none of them were perfect they were all human & relatable characters No BL stereotypes here which is a big place. P'Nuchy + the cast and crew created a jewel with this series and I think it's gonna take forever to be topped. At least for me it is.
If you haven't watched this series please do, you won't regret it. 10 overall but if I could give it more I would. Now I know this show is gonna leave a huge hole in my life. Well time to rewatch from the beginning again.

A Series Worth Watching At Least Once. *VERY VERY LIGHT SPOILERS*
Honestly, it’s a shame that I didn’t watch this series sooner or when it was airing because I had the opportunity to. I have been watching Thai BLs for about 4 years now, and I can very confidently say this is by far one of the BEST I have seen. I am not necessarily a big fan of the OffGun couple and I used to only watch series my favorite couples played in. However, I was INCREDIBLY wrong to do so. Everyone in this show BROUGHT IT. They did not come to play at all! The emotions, characters, and scenarios were played out so perfectly I couldn’t think of any better way they could’ve done it. Off, Gun, and First are some of the best actors in this industry in my opinion... and especially Gun with this role. To be able to pull off two different characters THIS well is a huge indicator of your talent. I was nervous at first that it would feel cringey, or that the acting would be too similar, but it was the exact opposite! The contrast between White and Black was so real, it was completely astonishing to me. The raw emotion felt and the immense amount of realism portrayed in these characters made this series feel so grounded… of course on top of the fact that this is a very real issue that they are tackling. The story is insanely complex and holds true to our world and society even after it’s been a couple of years since its release. The amount of morality questions asked throughout this series pertaining to the justice system and ourselves, really forced you to think from many different perspectives. The cinematography was great as well, it felt real. No heavy makeup, the lighting set the mood, and the music was not obnoxious or “ruining the moment”. The love story was not rushed, and instead it went at a very good pace. I honestly have nothing much bad to say about this series, if I could give it a 10 I would, but I feel there might always be something to improve on… for example, there are some minor plot-holes and I do wish that some things were explained a little more. However, I think they did a good job of wrapping it up regardless. This show made me write my first ever public review because I want to tell people they NEED to watch this. Even if OffGun isn’t your favorite pairing, you can not deny the in-show chemistry and skills they have are some of the absolute BEST. Give this series a try, I guarantee you would love it.Was this review helpful to you?
A masterpiece!
Brilliant from start to end! This series was truly a masterpiece in all the most minimal details.First of all, the cinematography was outstanding, stunning and breathtaking. As someone who's pretty obsessed with films, this one has such an unique visual. There are so many shots engraved in my mind; I'm extremely pleased with this aspect of the series.
The acting and performance was beautifully done and captivating. The cast was absolutely perfect; everyone did such a fantastic job in portraying their role. The chemistry between the main leads is incredible, too, and truly conveyed such a tender, passionate and delicate romance.
All in all, this series has everything. An intriguing premise, a carefully thought-out plot, rich characters with deep and complex development and so realistically human. I've never been this in love with a series before. It's so worth the watch. SeanWhite's romance was so beautifully made as well; so achingly tender and raw and the real definition of Finding Your Person.
Please give this a chance if you haven't. It's such an underrated gem. It treats important social and political issues with respect and the delicacy it deserves, without moving on from also being a deeply layered series. The LGBTQ+ representation here was so wonderfully made as well. There are scenes that made me feel seen, understood and represented in a way no other series has done.
Truly recommended! A thriller that managed to tell a beautiful romance and the story of amazing characters and the society we live in. My favorite thai series so far! :)

Not me, not you, but everyone....will love this??
This series was DROP DEAD GORGEUOUS. It's a must-watch from me because you'll miss out on a lot if you don't watch it.Let me tell you, every character, ship, and situation is simply amazing and well-portrayed. I'm not going to mention the name of the person who put Black in a coma, cuz the fun is in discovering it yourself.
Let me give a quick summary though,
Black was one day beaten up and put into a coma and White(who had just returned from Russia) had received a call from their childhood best friend Todd(Sing Harit slayed this role) saying what had gone down. Now, White is interested in discovering who had done this to his brother and thus acted as him. He found out that his brother was a part of a motorcycle gang, and found it hard to adjust to it. As suspicions grew, the relationship between Sean(the one who hated him the most in the gang)and Black(White) grew together. What's most surprising is that the one who had put Black in the coma condition was the one closest to him after all!
Everything about this series has you on the edge. And, lemme assure you, I won't be the only one crying when Black broke Sean's heart. One thing I am wondering though is what happened to the main deal of the entire series, which was bringing down Tawi. I'm curious as to what happened to the man, but it was never revealed at the end of the series. P.S. Nobody cared about him.
The actors were impeccable. Each one of them slayed every role. P'Gun did so well as both Black and White, but one thing that not many people talked about was how well P'Sing did in his role. He slayed it, showing the real pain he felt in his eyes and showing the love and care he felt for Black.
This is pretty much all I can say. Everything about this series stands out and is breathtakingly beautiful.

Not me, Not you, But everyone
Let me start by saying this: I didn’t touch my phone once while watching Not Me. No fast-forwarding, no distractions—just me, completely immersed from start to finish. And if you know how I usually watch dramas (a little skip here, a little scroll there), you’d know how rare that is. That alone should say something.The story follows twins White and Black, who were separated as children. White was raised abroad while Black remained in Thailand. Years later, White returns only to suddenly feel a mysterious pain—soon learning that Black is in a coma after a violent attack. To uncover the truth, White disguises himself as his brother and infiltrates Black’s motorcycle gang, suspecting someone in the group betrayed him. But as he dives deeper into Black’s life, White finds himself entangled in political resistance, personal awakening, and an unexpected emotional connection with the very people he once viewed as strangers.
What I Loved:
The Social Commentary: This drama didn’t just mention injustice—it held a mirror up to it. From systemic corruption, class disparity, and police brutality, to the internal guilt of privilege (especially shown through White’s monologues), Not Me tackled complex topics with honesty and boldness. It never spoon-fed solutions, but made you question the world you live in.
Romance That Wasn’t the Whole Plot: The romance—especially between White and Sean, and Yok and Dan—was powerful because it wasn’t the focus. It didn’t feel forced or tokenized. It felt like real people connecting through shared struggle. Their love stories bloomed naturally within the story, not because of it. And that made all the difference.
Gun Atthaphan (White/Black): Gun absolutely blew me away. This was my first time seeing him act and—wow. I genuinely had to check if the twins were played by different actors. He brought so much nuance, pain, and personality into both roles. You could feel the contrast between White and Black not just in dialogue but in posture, eyes, even breathing. And then to top it off, he also played White pretending to be Black?? The layers!
Female Characters That Weren’t Just Props: Eugene and Name were written like real people. No exaggerated reactions, no weak plot devices—they had depth, strength, and stories of their own. I loved every scene they were in. Even Nuch, who had less screen time, made a lasting impression—especially with her line: “Law is a door to justice, not justice itself.”
The Whole Ensemble Was Strong: Gumpa, the emotional anchor of the group, stole my heart. He was everyone's protector—but made me wonder, who protects him? Yok’s story was deeply moving, especially the portrayal of his relationship with his mute mother and the added layer of how society treats people with disabilities. And that heartbreak when he saw Dan’s betrayal? Gut-wrenching.
Tod and Black’s Relationship Deserves a Whole Spin-Off: Friends to enemies to… possibly friends again? Their story was so layered. They both wanted change, but walked different paths—Tod believed in changing the system, Black wanted to burn it all down. Their conflict was philosophical and emotional, and the coma twist? Brilliant.
Black, in His Own Right: Though absent for much of the drama, when Black appeared, he made it count. A character with a hard exterior and a soft, fiercely loyal heart. The way he left Eugene to protect her, how much he clearly cared for his brother—it all showed how human he was underneath the rage.
The Twin Bond: The special connection between White and Black added mystery and heart. That line in the finale—when Black says maybe he doesn't feel angry at Sean anymore because White loves him? Chills. It was both tender and thought-provoking.
Realistic Aesthetics: One thing I really appreciated was how natural everyone looked. The makeup was subtle and real—you could see pores, scars, skin texture. No beauty filters, no overly glossy perfection. It made the characters feel like people you could actually meet, and it suited the raw tone of the show perfectly.
Cinematography & Soundtrack: The camera work was gorgeous. Natural and unpolished in the best way, with stunning shots that highlighted the grit of the story without glamorizing it. And the soundtrack? Perfect. Every piece matched the mood without being overused or intrusive. It added to the scenes rather than overpowering them.
A Few Tiny Critiques (Because I Gotta Be Honest):
I wish the group had shown a bit more care about what happened to Black. It felt slightly under-addressed considering how central he was to their cause.
The constant product placement (PPL) pulled me out sometimes. Especially when the show was making such raw, anti-establishment statements—it felt a little contradictory.
And if we're being realistic they would have been either dead or arrested before the drama even started. There were some plot holes now and then too.
But did it ruin anything? Not at all. The show still delivered one of the most daring, powerful narratives I’ve seen in a long time.
Not Me was not just a drama—it was a statement. It dared to be political, queer, and emotionally complex all at once. It told the story of resistance, love, guilt, identity, and change in a way that felt real.
It wasn’t just good. It was important. At least for me, and won't be forgetting about it soon.
on a side note, I'm going to pretend the "flying" scenes didn't happen, because my rating would've been so much lower for how cringe that scenes were!

THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO START WATCHING NOT ME! (if you haven't yet!)
This is my first time writing a review as the series is still in the ongoing stage but I couldn't just help myself!I am a kind of a veteran bl fan myself and oh boy! have a come across a series which is just as splendid? NEVER.
To begin with, the plot sets off on a serious note and it's upto the main lead to uncover the cause of all the problems he finds himself amidst of! Every single character introduction is on point and it is surely not an exaggeration to say that all the actors know exactly where they are getting at with their respective roles!
Personally, I expected this to be another show where the main lead and his friends play hero and solve the burning issues with pure bravado alone but I was wrong.
This series is peppered with just the right amount of social and emotional themes. When I say reality smacks you in the face at every turn, I MEAN IT! and here's where my personal perspective comes in (again) as an Asian myself, the social and national events being tackled couldn't get more relatable. Ableism? check. LGBTQIA inequality? check. Capitalist monopoly? check. Social class division? check.
I cannot ramble enough about how good this series is, you'll just have to watch and find out by yourself :)) Though offgun deserve their fair share of applause, they aren't the only ones who steal the show bc Mond and First are doing an amazing job as well!!! To wrap this loooong review up, let me tell you the OST is to die for! Every single episode has a beautiful track to match the mood <3
[TL;DR Highly recommended series that belongs on the list of 'never miss it'! No graphic violence, so far so good! If you are someone who strongly believes in "Don't let the revolution die", you'll throughly enjoy this!!!! trust me >:-)]

Just watch it
I will do a proper review when this is over. But I'm recommending it entirely right now (as of episode 6).Pacing? Excellent. Acting? Superb. Cinematography? Perfect. Story? Captivating.
Seriously, watch it. It's just so good.
I'm just gushing about it in my head so much. It's too good. It's a bit heavy topic wise but it is pretty much the only BL that actually explores important issues at all. I hope they delve deeper cause it's still a bit surface level and strawman-like but it's doing a great job with what it has so far. And the plot itself is genuinely exciting and makes my toes curl with the tension every week. I wonder how much this might get close to the real events of the protests in Thailand.
You can see so much work must have gone into it and so far it's paid off with the work they've produced. Really hope the quality sticks until the end. I'm so curious about what will happen that the story pops into my head randomly at different times during the week, in the best way of course. ;)
(btw this is coming from someone who has not especially enjoyed OffGun's previous work when they are paired. So I'm not a shipper who might be a bit biased (no shade if you are of course), in fact I kind of went in with a lot of doubts. So happy to have been proven wrong. ;))
PS rewatch rating is neutral cause it's not finished.
Edit as of episode 7: No longer surface level or strawman like. This series is excellent. Complex and well-paced with great characters. I am just in love with it all.

Masterpiece
This series is the best series from GMMTV so far (according to me) ! P'Nuchy did a great job, the plot is so addictive, all actors are talented but Gun made it to the next level playing Black/White, two different personalities ! I was so into the story that I didn't even expect a sweet love couple. Even the womens role are important in the plot. the music choice by P'Nuchy is also very interesting to understand every emotions they create. I have watched all episodes a thousand times and I wait every sunday for the next one.Was this review helpful to you?
this drama truly deserves more love and attention!
let's be honest, every time i recommend this drama to someone they always come back saying they loved it, and as they should. it is so good!! i have not met a single person who didn't like this drama, and its obvious why.the acting is amazing, offgun really knocked it out the park this time round, and the supporting cast like first and mond as yok and gram also did fantastic. the story line here sends such an important message and it is conveyed in such a beautiful way that leaves you wanting more.. i watched this all in one sitting the first time i watched it.
the ost is beautiful too, i could not stop listening to the theme song.
overall this is such an impact-full yet beautiful drama that sends a strong message, and i hope anyone who decides to watch this can love at as much as the rest of us, as i believe it is truly underrated and does not get as much love and attention as it deserves (although i could just be a bit biased) 10/10

This is the new STANDARD
I wasn't 100% sure what my overall rating would be but as I was ticking off all the marks, I realised that everything was near perfection and deserves a 8.5.The music in this show was incredibly diverse and although I appreciate Thai artists being used in Thai shows, the fact that they used English music kind of made it a deeper experience for me. I guess you don't realise how much the lyrics of a song makes a difference when it plays in the background. You unintentionally relate those lyrics to what is happening in the moment. For this reason, the music was a 9.5/10.
The acting and plot was phenomenal and original. There wasn't a boring moment in this show and it really hit all the right markers.
The scene where Yok is doing a nude portrait of Dan is one of my favourite scenes in the show. It was so vulnerable and really set this precedent for BLs to follow. Instead of it focusing on steamy scenes and desires, this show actually showed a deeper meaning which was perfectly worded when Dan said 'I feel like I'm confessing my sins'. 10/10.
Also, the relationship between White and Sean was so naturally introduced. No confusion in what they were feeling, no regret or worry. They just accepted it as naturally as one should accept feelings for another. They didn't hide it from anyone and were so open to what they were feeling. Also, I love that both of them made sure eachother wanted the same thing. Basically, I love the CONSENT.
Great representation of the qommunity (get it.. haha queer community... qommun... anyways you get it). We had some beautiful raindbow flags in some scenes which I love <3
However, it wouldn't be a fair review if I didn't touch on the negatives...
I was a little disappointed with how they reintroduced Black into the story once he woke up. He kind of left the gang after he woke up which just doesn't make sense since he's the one that started it. If anything, I would have liked him to see that what White had done was working better than his plan but it was a little disappointing how he then continued on his own.
The ending was a little disappointing as well. They spent the entire show trying to take down Tawi but in the end, all of their efforts seemed to just be a symbol for society to stand up. We didn't have an epic scene where Tawi got taken in by police which I was looking forward to.
Also, I didn't fully understand why Dan all of a sudden changed his mind and went to arrest them. Like I get that someone powerful told him that he needs to step in line but AS IF that would be enough to scrap all your efforts and the effort of someone you supposedly love.
